Setting the code number and level
There are two kinds of displays. A wide screen

display has a width-to-height ratio (TV aspect)
of 16:9, while a regular display has a TV aspect
of 4:3. If you use a regular rear display with a
TV aspect of 4:3, you can set the aspect ratio
suitable for your rear display. (We recommend
use of this function only when you want to fit it
to the rear display.)
p When using a regular display, select either
Letter Box or Panscan. Selecting
16:9 may result in an unnatural image.
When you first use this function, register your

code number. If you do not register a code
number, the parental lock will not operate.

Some DVD-Video discs let you use parental
lock to set restrictions so that children cannot
watch violent or adult-oriented scenes. You

time, resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to

place the microphone in the specified location.
Before operating the Auto EQ

function
! Perform Auto EQ in as quiet a place as possible, with the vehicle engine and air conditioning switched off. Also, cut power to car
phones or mobile phones in the vehicle, or
remove them from the vehicle before performing Auto EQ. Sounds other than the
measurement tone (surrounding sounds,
engine sound, telephones ringing, etc.)
may prevent correct measurement of the
vehicles acoustics.
! Be sure to perform Auto EQ using the microphone for acoustical measurement
(sold separately). Using another microphone may prevent measurement, or result
in incorrect measurement of the vehicles
acoustics.
! To perform Auto EQ, the front speakers
must be connected.
! When this navigation system is connected
to a power amp with input level control,
Auto EQ may be impossible if the power
amps input level is set below the standard
level.
! When this navigation system is connected
to a power amp with an LPF (low pass filter), turn the LPF off before performing
Auto EQ. Also, set the cut-off frequency for
the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to
the highest frequency.
! The distance has been calculated by computer to provide optimum delay to ensure
accurate results. Do not change this value.
The reflected sound within the vehicle is
strong and delays occur.
The LPF on active subwoofers or external amps delay the lower sounds.
Chapter
2 Fix the microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately) in the centre of
the headrest of the drivers seat, facing forward.
The Auto EQ may differ depending on where
you place the microphone. If desired, place
the microphone on the front passenger seat
and perform Auto EQ.
Performing Auto EQ
p Auto EQ changes the audio settings as follows:
! Auto EQ on the EQ Menu screen is
set to On.
! The fader/balance settings return to the
centre position.
= For details, refer to Using balance adjustment on page 142.
! The equaliser curve switches to Flat.
= For details, refer to Using the equaliser on page 142.
! The front and rear speakers will automatically be adjusted to a high pass filter
setting.
p Previous settings for Auto EQ will be overwritten.
p For AVIC-F50BT users
Do not press the h button to open or close
the panel when you are using the microphone.
1 Stop the vehicle in a quiet place, close
all the doors, windows and sun roof, and
then turn the engine off.
If the engine is left running, engine noise may
prevent correct Auto EQ.
p If driving restrictions are detected during
measurement, measurement is cancelled.

Positioning technology
Positioning by GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a
network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each
of the satellites, which orbit at a height of
21 000 km, continually broadcasts radio signals giving time and position information. This
ensures that signals from at least three can be
picked up from any open area on the earths
surface.
The accuracy of the GPS information depends
on how good the reception is. When the signals are strong and reception is good, GPS
can determine latitude, longitude and altitude
for accurate positioning in three dimensions.
But if signal quality is poor, only two dimensions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained
and positioning errors are somewhat greater.
Positioning by dead reckoning

The built-in sensor in the navigation system
also calculates your position. The current location is measured by detecting driving distance
with the speed pulse, the turning direction
with the gyro sensor and inclination of the
road with the G sensor.
The built-in sensor can even calculate
changes of altitude, and correct the discrepancies in the distance travelled caused by driving
along winding roads or up slopes.
If you use this navigation system with connecting the speed pulse, the system will become
more accurate than no connection of speed
170
Engb
pulse. So you connect the speed pulse without

fail to get the accuracy of positioning.
p The position of the speed detection circuit
vary depending on the vehicle model. For
details, consult your authorised Pioneer
dealer or an installation professional.
p Some types of vehicles may not output a
speed signal while driving at just a few kilometres per hour. In such a case, the current
location of your vehicle may not be displayed correctly while in traffic jam or in a
car park.
How do GPS and dead

reckoning work together?
For maximum accuracy, your navigation system continually compares GPS data with your
estimated position as calculated from the data
of built-in sensor. However, if only the data
from the built-in sensor is available for a long
period, positioning errors are gradually compounded until the estimated position becomes
unreliable. For this reason, whenever GPS signals are available, they are matched with the
data of the built-in sensor and used to correct
it for improved accuracy.
p If you use chains on your wheels for winter
driving or put on the spare wheel, errors
may suddenly increase because of difference in wheel diameter. Initialise the sensor status and it may recover the accuracy
to normal condition.
= For details, refer to Clearing status on
page 125.
Appendix
Appendix
When positioning by GPS is
impossible
! GPS positioning is disabled if signals cannot be received from more than two GPS
satellites.
! In some driving conditions, signals from
GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle.
In this case, it is impossible for the system
to use GPS positioning.
In tunnels or enclosed parking

garages
Appendix
Map matching
As mentioned, the positioning systems used
by this navigation system are susceptible to
certain errors. Their calculations may, on occasion, place you in a location on the map where
no road exists. In this situation, the processing
system understands that vehicles travel only
on roads, and can correct your position by adjusting it to a nearby road. This is called map
matching.
Under elevated
roads or similar
structures
With map matching
When driving
among high buildings
Without map matching
Handling large errors

Positioning errors are kept to a minimum by
combining GPS, dead reckoning and map
matching. However, in some situations, these
functions may not work properly, and the error
may become bigger.
When driving through

a dense forest or tall
trees
! If a car phone or mobile phone is used near

the GPS aerial, GPS reception may be lost
temporarily.
! Do not cover the GPS aerial with spray
paint or car wax, because this may block
the reception of GPS signals. Snow buildup
can also degrade the signals, so keep the
aerial clear.
p If a GPS signal has not been received for a
long time, your vehicles actual position
and the current position mark on the map
may diverge considerably or may not be updated. In such case, once GPS reception is
restored, accuracy will be recovered.

Route setting information
Route search specifications
Your navigation system sets a route to your
destination by applying certain built-in rules to
the map data. This section provides some useful information about how a route is set.
CAUTION
When a route is calculated, the route and voice
guidance for the route are automatically set.
Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations applicable at the
time when the route was calculated is considered. One-way streets and street closures may
not be taken into consideration. For example, if a
street is open during the morning only, but you
arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route.
When driving, please follow the actual traffic
signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations.
! The calculated route is one example of the

route to your destination decided by the navigation system while taking the type of
streets or traffic regulations into account. It
is not necessarily an optimum route. (In
some cases, you may not be able to set the
streets you want to take. If you need to take
a certain street, set a waypoint on that
street.)
! If the destination is too far, there may be instances where the route cannot be set. (If
you want to set a long-distance route going
across several areas, set waypoints along
the way.)
! During voice guidance, turns and intersections from the motorway are announced.
However, if you pass intersections, turns,
and other guidance points in rapid succession, some may delay or not be announced.
! It is possible that guidance may direct you
off a motorway and then back on again.
! In some cases, the route may require you
to travel in the opposite direction to your
174
Engb
current heading. In such cases, you are instructed to turn around, so please turn
around safely by following the actual traffic
rules.
In some cases, a route may begin on the
opposite side of a railway or river from your
actual current location. If this happens,
drive towards your destination for a while,
and try route calculation again.
When there is a traffic jam ahead, a detour
route may not be suggested if driving
through the traffic jam would still be better
than taking the detour.
There may be instances when the starting
point, the waypoint and the destination
point are not on the highlighted route.
The number of roundabout exits displayed
on the screen may differ from the actual
number of roads.
Route highlighting
! Once set, the route is highlighted in bright
colour on the map.
! The immediate vicinity of your starting
point and destination may not be highlighted, and neither will areas with particularly complex road layouts. Consequently,
the route may appear to be cut off on the
display, but voice guidance will continue.
Auto reroute function

! If you deviate from the set route, the system
will re-calculate the route from that point
so that you remain on track to the destination.
! This function may not work under certain
conditions.

associated.
! Subtitle files that are named with the same
character string as the DivX file before the
extension are associated with the DivX file.
The character strings before the extension
must be exactly the same. However, if there
is only one DivX file and one subtitle file in
a single folder, the files are associated even
if the file names are not the same.
! The subtitle file must be stored in the same
folder as the DivX file.
! Up to 255 subtitle files may be used. Any
more subtitle files will not be recognised.
! Up to 64 characters can be used for the
name of the subtitle file, including the extension. If more than 64 characters are
used for the file name, the subtitle file may
not be recognised.

! The character code for the subtitle file

should comply with ISO-8859-1. Using characters other than ISO-8859-1 may cause the
characters to be displayed incorrectly.
! The subtitles may not be displayed correctly
if the displayed characters in the subtitle
file include control code.
! For materials that use a high transfer rate,
the subtitles and video may not be completely synchronised.
! If multiple subtitles are programmed to display within a very short time frame, such as
0.1 seconds, the subtitles may not be displayed at the correct time.

Glossary
AAC
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and
standard used with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Aspect ratio
This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen.
A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of
16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional
presence and atmosphere.
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,
the more information is available to reproduce
the sound. Using the same encoding method
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better
the sound.
Built-in sensor
The built-in sensor that enables the system to
estimate your vehicles position.
CD-DA
This stands for a general music CD (commercial-release audio CD). In this manual, this
word is sometime used for a distinction between data CDs (which include compressed
audio files) and general music CDs.
Chapter
Titles of DVD-Video are in turn divided into
chapters which are numbered in the same
way as the chapters of a book. With discs featuring chapters, you can quickly find a desired
scene with chapter search.
Current location
The present location of your vehicle; your current location is shown on the map by a red triangle mark.
Destination
A location you choose as the end point of your
journey.

DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by
DivX, LLC, a subsidiary of Rovi Corporation.
DivX media files contain highly compressed
video with high visual quality that maintains a
relatively small file size. DivX files can also include advanced media features like menus,
subtitles, and alternate audio tracks. Many
DivX media files are available for download online, and you can create your own using your
personal content and easy-to-use tools from
DivX.com.
DivX Certified
DivX Certified products are officially tested by
the creators of DivX and guaranteed to play all
versions of DivX video, except for DivX 7.
Favourites
A frequently visited location (such as your
workplace or a relatives home) that you can
register to allow easy routing.
GPS
Global Positioning System. A network of satellites that provides navigation signals for a variety of purposes.
Guidance point
These are important landmarks along your
route, generally intersections. The next guidance point along your route is indicated on
the map by the flag icon.
Home location

ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artists name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted by the number of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
Appendix
Appendix
JPEG
This stands for Joint Photographic Experts
Group, and is an international still image compression standard.
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an
audio compression standard established by a
working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). MP3
is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th
the size of a conventional disc.
MPEG
This stands for Moving Pictures Experts
Group, and is an international video image
compression standard.
Multi-angle
With regular TV programmes, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot
scenes, only images from one camera at a
time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.
Multi-audio (Multilingual dialogue)

Some videos feature dialogue recorded in multiple languages or audio recorded in multiple
tracks. For example, dialogue in up to eight
languages can be recorded on a single
DVD-Video, letting you choose the language
as desired.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than two
sessions in one disc.
Appendix
ISO 9660 format

This is the international standard for the format logic of DVD/CD-ROM folders and files.
For the ISO9660 format, there are regulations
for the following two levels:
! Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name
consists of up to eight characters, half-byte
English capital letters, half-byte numerals
and the _ sign, with a file-extension of
three characters).
! Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters
(including the separation mark . and a file
extension). Each folder contains less than
eight hierarchies.
! Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
Multi-subtitle
For example, subtitles in up to 32 languages
can be recorded on a single DVD-Video, letting
you choose as desired.
Packet write
This is a general term for a method of writing
individual files to a CD-R, etc. whenever required, just as is done with files on floppy or
hard disks.
Parental lock
Some DVD-Video discs with violent or adult-oriented scenes feature parental lock which prevents children from viewing such scenes. With
this kind of disc, if you set the units parental
lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for
children will be disabled, or these scenes will
be skipped.
Phone book
An address book on users phone is collectively referred to as Phone book. Depending
on the mobile phone, the phone book may be
called a name such as Contacts, Business

specific location; route setting is done automatically by the system when you specify a
destination.
Set route
The route marked out by the system to your
destination. It is highlighted in bright colour
on the map.
Title
DVD-Video discs have a high data capacity, enabling recording of multiple videos on a single
disc. If, for example, one disc contains three
separate videos, they are divided into title 1,
title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the convenience of title search and other functions.
Track log
Your navigation system logs routes that you already passed through if the track logger is activated. This recorded route is called a track
log. It is handy when you want to check a
route travelled or if returning along a complex
route.
VBR
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally
speaking, CBR (constant bit rate) is more
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit
rate according to the needs of audio compression, it is possible to produce compressionpriority data.
